Doug,
Grand that Manfila indeed and a neat segue to the Flamenco - the older stuff is something I've wanted to explore for a while.

Terry:
Hey the drummer might be gettin some but I'm not getting any. Do I need a special player to listen? I just tried the pop-up player for an archive of Trouble's show and it worked fine. But I'm gettin nowhere with the drummer trying to play you through iTunes.

Drummer Some:
How are the squirrels this morning, Marcury?

Terry:
Okey! I have you live with realplayer. tried windows media player to no avail. Guess I need to confab with the IT guy. But for now I've Bridged the Gap. Good to hear you Doug!

I am connecting using Windows MEdia player, by going to the Music Library view, then using the FIle-->Open URL option, and opening this URL: http://drummer.wfmu.org:443

Drummer Some:
Marcury, you mean on MY voice, yes? I assume I just set a bad level that time. Has it been distorted throughout?

Fri. 10/8/10 10:31am
Alex in Illinois:
I did not notice distorion, but things seemed to be sounding tinnyer that I remember, so I opened the EQ window, and reduced the upper frequencies while boosting the bass ones.

marcury:
More on voice, but I'm hearing it on everything

Fri. 10/8/10 10:36am
Drummer Some:
The folks at the station had me adjust the bitrate of the stream I'm sending to the server. I've upped it from 128 to 256k. Not sure if that is the cause. Of course, it could be that I'm just playing a lot of crappy MP3s today.

Fri. 10/8/10 10:40am
marcury:
Could very well be the MP3s, probably not upped bitrate, or maybe it's just those audio handjobs!

Fri. 10/8/10 10:44am
Drummer Some:
Audio Handjob is now the official unofficial name of the show.

Drummer Some:
Hey hey Kenzo,
I reported your double re-encoded degrade theory about the audio last Tuesday and it set folks at the station abuzz working on it. Thanks!

Wow. You are doing God's work. DuBois is a great American hero.

Doug- have you made a sizeable dent in your banking account because of Jerry's Record Store?

Fri. 10/8/10 11:03am
youthelectronix:
indeed. a fascinating man, a fascinating collection, soon to be available to everyone. check out his "audio autobiography" recorded for Folkways in 1961

Fri. 10/8/10 11:06am
Drummer Some:
Jill,
I am ashamed to say that I haven't even walked into Jerry's since we've moved here. (I went ton during all of our visits leading up to the move.) I'm kind of afraid I may never leave...

I'm thinking of working a regular "what I bought at Jerry's this week" feature on my new Tuesday evening show.

Lisa from Brooklyn:
Hail from Brooklyn. Listening to glorious music on a glorious fall day, with our 2 cats and a borrowed dog. I'm now more of a Yusef L. fan. Thanks Doug! Hi to J and L!

Drummer Some:
Hi there ho there Lisa! There seem to be a lot of dogs listening to today's program. Audio num-nums!
